“PM” – (at 5 pm)

Channel: BBC Radio 4

Programme Date: 17/05/2016

Author: Peter N B Jackson

Subject: Workings of the European Arrest Warrant; explanation by Norman Smith after intro. from Eddie Mair, supposedly “to answer listener’s question”… “not what politicians want you to hear”.
Norman Smith- quoting figures 2009-2016, explains (with selective emphasis) how any problem regarding the imbalance of numbers- 7500 to 800 is only “a perceived problem” to NS- “it seems to me Fairs Fair”. Listeners are clearly informed that the numbers in and out are reasonably balanced. ie all is well balanced within the EU.
However, this “explanation of balance” is a statistical fallacy. If every EU member state successfully served ten times the number of warrants, compared to the number of it’s own citizens “returned”, then ninety percent of the total concerned would have to vanish (into space), for there to be equilibrium. You can not have a balance of ” ten out-one in” broadly across each and every EU State.
ps I have asked the BBC to answer this point (prior to making a formal complaint), but have not received any reply.

Channel: BBC Radio 2Programme Date: 18/09/2018Author: MikemacEvery morning I switch on radio 2 in the morning to be met with a daily negative onslaught of anti Brecht propaganda. There is no hint of shame about it. It’s a huge talking point amongst my colleagues. The BBC in general are totally out of control in their bias against brexit. No wonder I’m seeing more and more vehicle stickers saying “ is that the truth or did you hear it on the BBC”.

Channel: BBC1Programme Date: 17/09/2018Author: Disgusted with BBC Bias on BrexitI cannot put all the dates down because you ask for one specific date, I am sick and tired as are everyone else with continuous anti Brexit broadcasting from Monday 17th September 2019 and continuing through the rest of the week. The news channel is completely taken over with Brexit and interviewing remainers who LOST THE REFERENDUM and cannot accept defeat. THE BRITISH PUBLIC VOTED TO LEAVE SO CAN YOU AT THE BBC ACCEPT IT? This is a time in our history to reclaim back our country and when I voted to leave I am not concerned with the terms as long as we once again run our own country. Perhaps it may be a good idea if the BBC moved all their headquarters to Brussels and give us all a break! As Brexit has never happened before how is it that the BBC know so much about what we are going to lose and regret leaving. Just do everyone a favour and change the record

Channel: BBC1Programme Date: 17/09/2018Author: L CrouchThe female presenter today was trying to persuade Lib-dem MP to vote with his party to remain in EU instead of voting as his constituents did in the brexit referendum. I am an Eastbourne constituent & have not changed my mind about my leave vote in the referendum & believe that all MP’s should respect the way their constituents voted in the referendum. I find all BBC news programmes, without exception, are biased to remaining in the EU.

Channel: Other (please give details in main complaint box)Programme Date: 16/09/2018Author: MooredoReport on a computer game where post brexit Europeans are held in concentration camps and only allowed to do menial jobs. Why the BBC saw fit to report this other than an anti brexit bias is beyond me I couldn’t believe what I was watching.. And kept wondering why it was on!!. Complained to BBC about its biased approach.

Channel: BBC1Programme Date: 13/09/2018Author: ChrisCwmbranI wish to complain about the alarmist, clearly anti-Brexit reporting done by Laura Kuenssberg in the News today. Time and time again things which are only possibilities are reported and stressed in an alarmist manner thus attempting to alter the views of the public to a more anti-Brexit position. The BBC is supposed to be impartial and her reporting does not reflect this at all.
